In short, he's not an IT guy but does run ad blockers on each browser and device as he can. He was wondering why people wont use ad blockers since it is trivial to install and even chrome uBO lite works well on youtube (dunno about that fact, I have migrated to FF as soon as they announced Manifest V3) Normies just wont.

It is just not what they do. And they are the majority. And that's actually a good thing. If 90% of users used ad blockers on youtube, their profit model wouldn't work and they'd stat locking more behind a subscription or they'd double down on cracking adblockers.

Content creators will all leave because they can't pay the bills with 3,000 views a day. They'd loose billions of active users and Alphabet's shareholders will shit their pants. Youtube doesn't actually loose anything from ad blocking. It's advertisers who lose out and it's easier for youtube to scam them than us. If the advertising money dries up Youtube will simply go back to operating in the red just like it did for most of it's existence. Revenue, debt, profit, products, customers, etc. Not of that shit means anything anymore because the billionaires have decided to let the world burn.

Few years back I found Civvie11 on youtube. He just had released the first Pro Blood video and I liked it so much, I opened my patreon account and subbed to him. At that time he had around $500 a month from patrons. I think not even a year has passed, when I checked for patron content, he had $3000 a month going only from patrons. For a small channel like his, that is quite a sum of money to receive. Today he has 485k subs and $4300 a month off patrons. Not bad imo for a not so popular gaming channel. Another nice example: decino is pulling $1000 a month with a tiny 200k sub YT channel pretty much only about Doom gameplay. For larger channels with multiple millions of subs and a patreon or some other crowdfunding sources putting ads into their videos they are pulling much more. Not to mention paid ads in their vids. Also, twitch proves that people are willing to spend 5 bucks a month for their favorite content creator.
